Heather Hall, MSW, LCSW

Psychotherapist

I use psychotherapy to assist clients with a variety of issues and concerns. In addition to providing traditional talk psychotherapy, I also like to integrate the clients talents and interests into my work with them. Possible integrations include artistic activities, music, outdoor activities, and other passions. Narrative therapy activities can also be involved!

Paula Cherry, MA, LPC, LCAS

Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Addiction

The process of psychotherapy can be very powerful and life changing when clinician and client are working together toward established goals as stated by the client. My approach to psychotherapy is eclectic as there are no two identical clients. I utilize empathy, acceptance, and unconditional positive regard and work is directed toward positive change and achieving goals. I incorporate "Motivational Interviewing" techniques and provide a non-judgmental, non-confrontational, and non-adversarial environment for individuals struggling with addiction allowing them to explore intrinsic solutions instead of forcing defense mechanisms designed to protect their addiction to kick into gear.

Robin Fine, MSW, LCSWA

Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist

My psychotherapeutic approach is based on the time-tested intervention that is called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT helps people understand how their thoughts can control their actions and vice versa. Once one of those is altered, the other can subsequently follow, resulting in a happier and healthier life for you and those around you. It is a powerful path to successful treatment with many mental health challenges.

Chris Bailey, M.A. Professional Counseling

First Care Christian Counseling

I work from an integrated Biblical theoretical approach that includes cognitive behavioral therapy, emotional focused therapy, person-centered therapy, and Biblical principles. The amount of sessions are all based on the couples or individuals and their goals, but typically I incorporate a brief therapy approach of 6 to 8 sessions. Appointments are during the evenings and select Saturdays, all by appointment only. I work with couples (pre-engagement, pre-marital, marriage, and divorce recovery), individuals, and families.

I believe you are the expert of yourself. When you come in for therapy with me, I truly listen to your needs and your life goals. You will be met without judgment and we will process any decisions you are contemplating from all possible angles so that you can make the best choices for your life and your situation. I am capable to assisting you in many areas such as stress/anxiety, depression, abuse, adjustment disorders, and grief. I use strength based therapies which focus on continuing to do what works while challenging those thoughts and beliefs that prevent you from being the person that you would like to be.

LPC. Licensed Professional Counselor.

Psychotherapy/Counseling can be difficult to start. Sometimes people would rather continue to bottle up feelings. But issues have a tendency to come out somehow, and usually not in a productive way. Talk therapy allows people to recognize his or her feelings, look at patterns, and discover new ways to cope better. Therapy helps a client understand him or herself better, and make more informed decisions. It helps people tale control of their lives, and switch the negative, "auto-pilot" off. First, one must recognize what the negative self- talk is, and then learn to replace it with more rational, self-empowering thoughts. The positive, productive feelings & behaviors will follow.

Lonnie Mullet, MA, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Often individual psychotherapy can be helpful for those who are motivated to change personal outlook and behavior. Many individuals come to the conclusion that something in their life needs to change whether it is a relationship pattern, an inability to achieve career goals, or to come to terms with some life circumstance or history. An outside perspective can provide new insight as well as objective feedback and new avenues of consideration. Friends and Family members often are too close to see these issues, too afraid of jeopardizing their relationship with you, or struggling with their own life dilemmas. Most people who ask, 'could I benefit from counseling?' are voicing a need.

Christy Cole, MA, LPCA

Professional Counseling Associate

Psychotherapy is an empirically validated intervention. Simply put...IT WORKS! It's important that you establish a working alliance and feel safe, heard, and that you receive genuine empathy. I offer free consultations to develop an understanding of where we will begin, what therapy entails, and what it means for you. Your experience is tailored to you based on an integrative perspective. I have a desire to create a safe space in which you may flourish. If you seek emotional, mental, or spiritual improvements, I am here to help!

Samantha King, MA, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

The Experiential process is structured to encourage safe exploration of emotions, thoughts, behaviors contained in the experience with a third object to develop insight into behavior patterns and defense mechanisms for coping with life. The therapeutic relationship is the vehicle through which the healing and growth process occurs as much of the new learning is in the context of how it plays out with the support of the therapist in the immediate environment. The task orientation of the activities and techniques allow for the client to focus with the therapist on the third object to resolve the issue together. Client empowerment, personal responsibility, and self- determination is promoted.
